Srebrenica 1995: a European trauma

On the morning of 11 July 1995, Bosnian Serb army and police units stormed the UN protection zone of Srebrenica after days of shelling. Under the eyes of the international community, they systematically murdered over 8,300 men and boys. "Srebrenica" became a trauma of European and international politics. How could this mass crime have happened? Who commissioned it, what motivated the perpetrators? And what lessons has Germany and the world learned from it?
